The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria has commended the Federal Inland Revenue Service for boosting the Federal Government’s revenue with N66 billion through stamp duty collection. FIRS Nigeria
The union posited that when juxtaposed against the N18 billion realised from stamp duty collected between January to December 2019, the N66 billion raked in from January to May 2020 would be recognised as a rare feat and a clear demonstration that the FIRS management team was discharging its duties creditably.
While enjoining the agency to keep up the good work, the union tasked the FIRS that before the year ends, revenue collected from stamp duties should be unparalled in the history of the organisation. According to the ASCSN, Section 4 of the Stamp Duty Act, vests the FIRS with sole authority to impose, charge and collect stamp duties upon instruments specified in the schedule of the Stamp Duties Act where such duties relate to matters between a company and an individual, group or body of individuals.
